None of them compare to what I've gone through with other companies. The good far outweighs the bad.

NEGATIVE POSTS...SM
And your post of being tired of complaining and negative posts isn't a complaint in itself?
negative posts
It's always good to know what you're getting into before it's too late. There are companies out there that are not even mentioned on this board and those are the ones to work for!
I didn't say anything negative. ??
I was the one who said her response to you was harsh. :(
Negative posts are allowed. (SM)
As long as there is no language or vicious name-calling, etc., positive or negative posts are allowed.
If you are just coming here to cause trouble, however, you probably should post elsewhere.
If you have issues about posting policy, contact the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com).

All the negative posts were removed.
I would have to assume it is because Davis supports mtstars although Davis has never advertised for employment here. They use the 'other' MT job site.
Pay has never been on a timely schedule and comes late no matter what is said differently. There have been many instances of bounced checks. Because of that and problems being able to have work every day, I left there. The pay scale was just re-vamped so I don't know what kind of money can be made. That'll have to be answered by someone else. Maybe with the new payscale payment will be able to be made on a regular, timely schedule.
Things are always changing so who knows? Maybe it would be a good fit. Good luck.
There have been some negative posts about them in the past. nm

Response to negative posts
First of all, for all the MTs who have recently been hired and who are no longer with Premier, I apologize for your unhappiness. I value this industry and the many MTs who have been hired by me for 15 years past. I also value my clients -- so much that I take the extra step to make sure that the MT is a good fit. I am embarrased that I fell victim to a scenario that I felt was a benefit to the MTs who have been out in the field looking for a good MT job. As there are always two sides to every store, here is my side:
Premier Office Technologies, Inc. has been continually growing since its inception in 1991. The past two years have been super aggressive with referals (thank you all who have participated in making this happen!). As a result, we signed six new client contracts 29 days into the year 2008 which resulted in my having to hire a minimum of 20 new MTs. Back in February I posted a job and hired two individuals from that ad. They are still with me today. I received an email from a smaller MTSO who offerred to me her staff of MTs and told me to hault my own recruiting, as she would take full responsibility of hiring, training, QA'g, paying, etc. of these MTs. I trusted her and did that. She came to me two weeks later and said she was not able to commit to the amount of work that is required to do this. She, therefore, relinquished these girls to me directly. I attempted to hire all of them since they were offerred a position with this MTSO and have invested their time with this process. Unbeknownst to me, I soon learned that none of these MTs ever worked for that company, but were hired for the purposes of working on my accounts. They also were not even tested. I trusted their resume and my own conversations with them. I was literally given a handful of 13 MTs at one time. This is something I would have never done on my own. I do feel that this is where the MTs feel that I was disorganized. I was merely making an attempt to make sure everyone had a position with a lot of work available to them. This is the number one reason that the MTs are seeking employment in the first place, i.e., that their prior employer did not have enough work to keep them busy. With all of the best resources that Premier has available, it was very difficult to get each of the 13 MTs installed, trained and up and running on each of thier scheduled requests. However, those who have made it are happily working and accomplished their goal. Those who have not, I am sorry that you have found your experience with Premier a not-so-pleasant one. I have learned a valuable lesson from this scenario and will never agree to this type of hiring practice again. I am told that this person is recruiting again, so all MTSOs should be aware that this happens. For all of you MTs looking for work, I hope you find what you are looking for. I am confident that any new MT who is looking for a good MTSO to work as a team player and who understands the ebs and flos of this industry can make a happy marriage with Premier. For years, Premier has had a very good reputation and plans to keep that trend flowing well into the future.
The only negative posts lately have been from the same person...
hard to say something negative about a company when you don't work there...
many posts about their VR system; mostly negative.
nm
recent posts below are all negative.

I skip up the negative posts - I just figure...
they are people unhappy with thereselves and apparently have no work. If they did, they would'nt be here wasting the space. Thanks for your input. I am sure we will find a good place for her. And I am sure somebody will not be able to help thereselves but to respond negatively to this. I just figure if you are unhappy, go somewhere where are you happy.
Lots of negative posts if you do a search. nm

Negative posts about Webmedx down a few on this page. nm

Notes on old posts are very negative & mention pay of 8.5 and 9 cpl, but don't know if for all

Acetera used to be Focus and there are many negative posts here

I can only find negative posts about them from last year. nm

Because one person can have multiple negative posts

They've been around for years and the posts are always negative.

The people who are posting most negative posts
have not worked at Focus in a long time. I work there now and think they are great. I have had no problems. Pay is always on time, nobody bothers me, and I always have plenty of work....only work on 1 account.
With all the negative posts in response to a positive post, I am
surprised that anyone posts anything here.
I do not work for Keystrokes but I like to see what is out there, and the benefits they are offered, if coupled with a decent line rate and steady work load, are better than most I have seen.
Gone are the days of fully-paid pension plans. Gone are the days of three weeks' vacation. Employers cannot afford these, and not just in transcription.
If you aren't interested or do not like something, just ignore the post. You obviously were interested or you would not have read it.
Can't we cut back on the nasty posts on this board? If it does not concern you, don't criticize.
If you are not looking for a new position, don't gripe about ones that are being offered. If you are looking and a company's line rates, benefits or perks don't meet your personal requirements, why cut that company down? Just move on and good luck finding what you are looking for.
I agree with the poster about being mad at the entire industry, but I still love my career choice. It has been a good fit for me and has allowed me to live a nice lifestyle.
If I wasn't happy, I'd move on to another career.
Might check the archives as I think there were some negative posts a while back. NM

Do a search of this board for Shapin and see how many negative posts there are. nm

Posts found on a search have only negative comments. nm

many recent negative posts on Company Board

Thanks, Alice, I had read all the negative posts. I just wanted to know if
anyone who worked for them had anything positive to say. The screaming b*@ch responding to this post doesn't realize that people do need to work, but some of us want to weigh all responses. I'm not living life looking through rose-colored glasses. I don't live it, either, by focusing on every negative my mind conjure up, like the whacko responder here. Good grief, talk about needing a life!
Thanks, Alice, doesn't seem anything has improved here as far as Focus.
And that is the problem with administration deleting negative posts about a company.

many recent negative posts of Amphion on Company Board

I didn't see any posts about VR --
I just perused over the page and I recall the day that thread was posted, as I was concerned about that email, too, but nothing in that thread stated that MDI was going to VR or in the email, unless I missed something.
Did your account go to VR and how were you notified? I'd definitely like to know ahead of time what's going on. I worked for MQ for too long with my head in the sand, don't let me sink now!
Maybe search for Cort or CorT..most posts were negative so maybe they were deleted. nm

Sorry, I didn't see the earlier posts at first.
It just shook me up with GP's original post, because I like GP.
So interesting that you didn't address the offshoring posts. NM
Do they allow you an expansion program or Autocorrect usage? Old posts say they didn't. nm

I didn't take the posts as trashing the company, just people venting about no work. sm
I used to work for TT, and yes, they are wonderful people -- very caring and supportive -- but in order to get my lines in, I had to be VERY flexible, working on my days off, during times I wasn't scheduled, etc., and it gets old pretty quickly. I personally didn't care for the e-mails calling me sweetie or telling me you rock, but that's just me. I just want to be paid well and have plentiful work. I do not know if they just overhire or what happens, but I finally left because I couldn't stand the feast or famine work flow there.
I remember some posts at the beginning of the year from a lady who didn't get paid - she was stea

Boo! Did I scare ya again?
What would scare me is that they sm
have my checking account information moreso than the fact that they didn't pay me. I have often wondered when applying with these companies and they hire you how safe all that stuff is.
Don't let the comments scare you
You are right, there is plenty of work at DR, plus they pay downtime if there is no work. Have been getting quite a bit of OT lately. Management is going through some changes, but hasn't affected me at all. DR is not the best, but I have worked for MQ part time also (quit in November), and DR is not nearly as disorganized as MQ. I'm sure there are better companies out there, but I'm happy at DR so far.
LOL You scare everyone...uhmmm, whatever your
LOL
scare tactic, perhaps?? I had one
supervisor, when working at a hospital, threaten to disable our short-cut program if we did not watch the errors on those.
It was all bull.
dont let that scare you
I have 2 friends that I am in daily contact with. One an MT and one in QA and their line qualifications are both different. Check what yours would be before confirming your employment. Both my friends are very happy there.
What would scare me away is the fact
that they say they are a Christian company. I am a Christian, but I've found that any company, MT or otherwise that claims it will screw you over in a minute. TransAm claims to be a Christian company too and we all know what crooks they are.
you know nothing. You're trying to scare people because
Ask the moderator - is that supposed to scare me?
I stated - it was posted here about a month ago - it was an article from some publication - already said I can't remember - its not speculation - it was a long, long thread full of postings from Spheris MTs - they started the post and were all very upset. Then, like so much on this forum, all got quiet and Spheris postings have vanished. Just like Keystrokes - just like Transcend - If I had the interest or the time, I'd run a Google search on it. It certainly looked legit at the time, was a very interesting long thread. And something that MTs thinking of applying should be aware of - I was hoping that Spheris MTs could comment in follow up. In the grand scheme of things, I could care less, but am certainly glad I had the good fortune to see this info for myself. Blast away - flame away - tattle away - I'm sure all will be deleted soon anyway - typical for most company posts!
